This has probably already been asked before, but:
The magazines of kbin federate as Lemmy communities, but is the microblog section of a kbin magazine accessible via Lemmy?

Assuming it’s working at all, the most obvious way to do it would be similar to Reddit’s ability for users to post to their profile as a ‘subreddit’, and allow Lemmy users to follow individual users. Following users was apparently implemented on Lemmy (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/752), but I cannot find how to do that in the UI at all. Maybe it’s not yet exposed in the frontend.
See here. you can see this mastodon user’s post (which to them looks like a regular tweet on twitter does) ends up in our random microblogs section.
We can also view their profile directly as well as follow them to have their posts appear in our microblogs (as well as threads if they go out of their way to make one).
It seems kbin microblogs appear as threads/comments to you on lemmy. so I have to imagine mastodon posts might be similar?
@Otome-chan
@projectmoon @god
And, weirdly, you post showed up in my Mastodon mentions!
Hurrah for federation!
omg I’m so sorry for pinging you so often. You just happened to be the first one to pop up in the feed haha. I didn’t realize it’d ping you.
@Otome-chan hahaha! No worries, it’s all good.
Fascinating to see that this actually works 🙂
I’ve actually had quite a few interactions with mastodon users. It’s very neat, since I could never get into mastodon itself, but kbin is super comfy.
